Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

With by Donald Harington"It might be the best novel I've read this year so far, and the years almost over." It starts as a grit lit story, the disturbing abduction of a young child. It ends up being a survival story with a lot of natural and some supernatural help. It is a fabulous incredible novel. I hope everybody in the world reads it."

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, due out in 2005"He's a great favorite of mine. He is such an elegant writer and I was intrigued by his writing -- it was so subtle that I'm still processing it. It's a rather horrifying plot about clones who are raised to donate organs. It's heavy duty."
